I can’t say much about packaging
as I am reviewing a sample product. But by looking at website pictures; the oil
cleanser comes in a transparent bottle with a pump dispenser.

Verdict:
The best thing about Korean Beauty products is whenever you
buy one product you get 2 3 samples free. I got a free sample of The Face Shop
Rice Water Bright Light Cleansing Oil. I am already using The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Foaming Cleanser and I love it. I have never used cleansing oil. I have
oily to combination skin and the thought of putting oil on my face is outrageous.
But I have heard and read a lot about
using oil cleanser for removing dirt and impurities on your skin. The skin experts
say that oil cleansers cleans your skin without stripping away natural oils
that reduces the production of excess oil. And one of the steps in K-beauty
regime is to use oil cleanser.
So first I did a patch test of the cleansing oil on my arm
and then on my face. The cleansing oil has lot of ingredients that are to
impart fragrances that may not be good for sensitive skin. I think that the
cleansing oil caused acne on my skin (not sure).
The oil takes out heavy makeup from your face. It easily
breaks waterproof mascara, liquid lipstick and other stubborn makeup. I sometimes
use it with a cotton pad to remove the stubborn eye makeup. You can even use it
when you are not wearing any makeup just to clean all the dirt and impurities.
I can not say much about brightening because your skin looks bright after you clean it.
I use little extra quantity than required just to get all
that makeup off my skin. The 10 ml sample lasted me for 15 days. So even though
it’s expensive, the product you get is more than enough. (It’s cheaper than other
oil cleansers).
After I use the oil cleaner, I wash my face with water and
then use a foaming cleanser. I am not so sure about washing my face just with water
after oil cleansing.
It leaves a thin oily layer on skin especially on eye lids;
all things appear hazy after using this cleanser. Avoid using it on eye lids if
you do not like the after effects.
This oil cleanser is for oily to combination skin; there is
variant available for dry skin.
Pros:
- Thin consistency
- Removes stubborn makeup
- Cleanses face of dirt and impurities
- Non-greasy
Cons:
Some ingredients might not suit
sensitive skin
Will I repurchase? No. But I will definitely try other oil
cleansers.
Do I recommend? Read the ingredients and then buy.
